See these? Yes, those would be bananas. A yummy fruit that is good for you. See this? Uh-huh, that would be a garbage can. So what do you think these two have in common? Come on, think about it. What do you do with a banana peel when you’re done eating the banana? Come on, I know you know this!
Unfortunately, the stupid ass we were driving behind near the mall this weekend clearly did not. I was shocked when I saw him throw a banana peel from his car window. This is not a cartoon!
After seeing that, we happened to pull next to him at the stop light; us wanting to turn left, and him wanting to go straight. At that moment, we both turned to glare at him (we are sooo good at doing that), and watched as his girlfriend handed him her peel, and he started rolling down his window. But before he could do so, Joe started yelling “don’t do that!” (our window was up, idiot’s was down) and waving his arms. I’m surprised the guy even noticed him as we were on his left and Joe was driving, but he did. But he just sat there, with this totally dumb look on his face. I could just hear what was going on in his head (not much – haha). You could just tell that he had no clue why Joe was pissed off at him.
Well, by that time the light turned green, so we had to get going. And I’m sure he threw the banana peel out the window the second we pulled out of sight anyway, considering the fact that he probably still didn’t get why we were pissed off.
The thing that gets me is that dumbass and his equally bright girlfriend were going to the mall where there are at least two garbage cans outside the doors. Would it have killed them to throw out those peels then? I have never ever thrown garbage out my car window. It’s ignorant, disgusting, and dangerous.
I agree. People do suck. But at least it was a biodegradable something rather than a non-biodegradable something.
Yeah, I think a lot of people throw biodegradable stuff out of the car. Apple cores, banana peels, leaves, etc.
Hya, What you actually DO do with empty nanas is PUT THEM ON THE COMPOST HEAP, not on the road and certainly not in the garbage can. What a waste! Get yourself in gear for the time when you get your garden. In fact just putting them around certain plants is an excellent boost to roots. Garbage can indeed! (Sorry to lecture on such a lovely blog.)
People do suck… and occasionally the really nice ones swallow. Throwing trash out of your car irritates me just as bad as throwing cigarette butts out. They gave you an ashtray, use it!
I would have really let that guy have it. I might have even followed him to the mall and left a note on his car… I don’t know, maybe not.
Either way, garbage has it’s place.
Nice post with the pictures!
